Demon Internet - massively over complicated - difficult to configure - Why oh why...

Now I’m not one to moan – as you dear reader will likely know – but today was a difficult day.

The major headache was trying to get Apple stuff to use Demon Internet’s email system – what a PITA!!!

Firstly I had it working the other day and the iPad decided that it would not send – then not receive, then neither, then not send…
Great ~ how could that possibly be??
Well; today it came to a head and I braved the international joys of Demon Internet’s support.
Surprisingly they were actually quite useful and helpful, something I was not expecting!

Suffice to say that eventually we maanged to get the iPad conencting…
… to the catch all account
Sigh – not what this was needing
Phones back to someone else
Gets the iPad connected to the correct account
Now the Mac has an issue – can’t send, then can’t receive, then both
Sigh
More international joy
Finally gets it working

Joy

#Note#
for anyone reading this wanting the correct settings it’s as follows:

incoming mail server – pop3.demon.co.uk
Username – the bit before the @ symbol and +catchall account name including the ‘+’ symbol (i.e. mail+catchall)
Password – the catchall account password
Port – 110
SMTP – post.demon.co.uk
Port – 25
